Do notfocus on trying to tell, aim to leave the listener wanting to know more, 2)Confidence, if you do not feel and act confident in your message, why should anyonegive it any credibility? Whatever you are going to say, you must deliver itcomfortably, confidently, and smiling, like you really mean it, 3) Casual, thebest pitch sounds natural. Keep itsimple, casual and something you could actually say in a friendly conversation,and 4) Conversational, do not work to push your message on others, deliver itconversationally.
